Most asphalt problems don’t start as “we need new pavement.” They start small: cracks that spread, potholes that come back, low spots that keep holding water, and stripes that fade until someone complains.

If you know which asphalt services stop that slide early, you get two things: better results and fewer callbacks.

This article lists the asphalt services in high demand for 2026 and explains what drives price and quality for each. It also helps you pick the best services for your business right now.

As a property manager or business owner, your parking lot is often the first handshake you offer your customers. Before they walk into your store, office, or apartment complex, they drive on your asphalt.

What is your parking lot telling them right now?

If they are dodging potholes or tripping over cracks, it sends the wrong message. It says the property is not well maintained. Even worse, a deteriorating parking lot is a massive liability. One trip-and-fall lawsuit can cost far more than a pavement repair project.

You know you need to fix the lot. But when you look at the budget, a total demolition and replacement seems too expensive. You might think you have to choose between a cheap patch job or spending a fortune.

Fortunately, there is a middle ground. It is called asphalt resurfacing.

For commercial properties, asphalt resurfacing is often the smartest financial move. It gives you a brand new, safe, and black surface without the extreme cost of starting from scratch.

In this guide, we will explore what asphalt resurfacing is, how it works for commercial lots, and how to decide if it is the right solution for your business.

Trees add shade, curb appeal, and property value, but when roots push up your asphalt they can create trip hazards and tire damage. Tree root damage repair is about balancing safety, pavement life, and tree health so your church parking lot or hotel driveway stays safe without losing every mature tree on site.

Most people aren’t familiar with the term, and unless you work in paving, you might not have heard it before. Odds are you’ve driven over this recycled material many times without knowing it.

Planning to have a driveway installed in your new home? Or have your old and damaged driveway demolished to give way to a new one? Are you torn between an asphalt driveway and a concrete one?

If your lot or driveway needs sealing or crack repair, the right asphalt maintenance contractor keeps costs down and keeps traffic moving. Use the questions below to sort the pros from the pretenders.

You’ve spent a lot of money on parking lot paving and line striping. Now it’s time for sealcoating. Your choice of sealcoating contractor matters just as much as finding the most qualified paving company did initially. The right professional brings skill, quality, and reliability to every square foot of asphalt sealcoating.

Temperatures are dropping steadily, and you’ve probably put your crack repair and sealcoating equipment and supplies in storage by now. You've been stenciling and line striping indoors, but outdoor line striping is definitely out of the question because the ground is covered with snow.

Asphalt pavements generally last anywhere between 10 to 30 years when installed correctly. But rainwater, sunlight, motor oil, and heavy foot/vehicular traffic can drastically cut down your parking lot or driveway's lifespan. 

Sealcoating a driveway or parking lot is not only one of the most important steps a property manager can take to maintain it and prolong its lifespan, it’s also an investment that can add value and curb appeal to the property. An attractive, dark coat of sealer will only look professional, though, when the entire surface is sealed evenly and neatly—including its edges.
